Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 9, 2007 -- Success Group International Technology Coalition announced today that SAP has joined the Success Group Technology Coalition. SAP will leverage its membership in the Success Group Technology Coalition to collaborate closely with SGI's VAR and ISV members to identify business-critical customer needs and develop and market thought-leading SAP® All-in-One solutions. The partnership broadens SGI's market presence through increased exposure to global midmarket businesses, while providing an improved opportunity for SGI VAR members to market their vertical-specific solutions to companies around the world through SAP® PartnerEdge™, the SAP channel partner program.

The Success Group International Technology Coalition currently includes 80 Global Members, all of whom focus on small businesses and midsize companies. SGI's VAR -Reseller-Distributor-System Integrator and Professional Services Members represent more than 100,000 IT customers globally and collectively sell more than $1 billion annually of IT solutions.

SAP All-in-One is a proven midmarket business solution with industry experience built-in at a predictable cost of ownership, currently implemented by more than 9,000 customers worldwide. The latest evolution of the SAP All-in-One solution, announced in January 2007, includes the strengths and functional advancements delivered in SAP® ERP 2005 and future enhancement packages, along with enhanced SAP® Best Practices and "quick start" accelerator tools and services from SAP solution centers and partners. The new enhancements and innovations serve to better address the unique, often sophisticated, business needs of midsize companies.

The updated SAP All-in-One solution also delivers the value of enterprise service-oriented architecture (enterprise SOA) to midsize companies, with significant enhancements to provide midsize companies with greater agility in managing their businesses. This evolved delivery model shields customers from the complexity of multiple upgrades and portends the impending inflection point in the IT sector -- the transition to SOA, a blueprint that enables increased operational flexibility and an improved ability to address business change.

Marv McGrew, CEO of Success Group International stated, "We are excited about having SAP as a part of the SGI Global Coalition. SAP's expansion and emphasis on small business and midmarket companies is a perfect fit for our VAR and ISV Members, providing a key delivery path to offer their customers SAP All-in-One solutions. As a growing number of SMEs implement service-oriented architecture (SOA), they can leverage the SGI Global Coalition for greater support and a quicker path to effectiveness with SAP All-in-One solutions"
